In art there are
many branches such as digital drawing, regular painting, acrylic painting,
watercolor painting, etc. They are all similar but still have their
differences. All branches of art make us happy and annoyed at times. They all
have their advantages and disadvantages.
First up is
digital art. I personally use digital art because it is easy for me. An advantage for digital art is that it is fixable. One can always go back and change errors
or mistakes. Another advantage is the tools that the digital program comes with. In any
digital program such as Paint Tool Sai, Photoshop and more, there are many
variations in tools which expand the artistic ability. A disadvantage is that
if one did not save the file, and the computer shuts down, the artwork will
disappear and one will have to restart everything. Another disadvantage is not
knowing how to properly use a digital program. If used incorrectly, the artwork
can be messed up or lost/deleted. Which is very annoying!
Second is acrylic
painting. Acrylic paint is a mix between watercolor and oil painting. An advantage to acrylic painting is that the
paint is water resistant. The painting cannot get any water damage so it is
safe. Another advantage is that the paint will not “crack”. On regular paint,
if the paint is very old one will begin to see cracks on it. A disadvantage is
that if one makes a mistake, and the paint dries before it can be cleaned it
will stay that way. The only thing left to do is cover it up with more paint.
Third
is watercolor painting. Watercolor is a mixture of paint and water. In this
mixture there is more water than paint. Watercolors are usually almost transparent
due to the water. An advantage of watercolor is that it dries faster than other
paints. Another is that it has great luminosity and mixing the pigment is easy.
Also, it is easy to clean up because it already has water. A disadvantage is
that mistakes are really hard to cover up. The substance in which the artist is
painting on is wet and adding more water can damage the substance. Another disadvantage
is the planning. One must plan very carefully before painting. One must choose
the colors and the water amount carefully. Not many people have the patience to
do this.
Even
though they have their differences they do have similarities. One of them are
that they are all time consuming. They all involve a long process. Another
similarity is that they all begin with sketching. Whether it is on paper or
poster they all begin the same way. One last similarity is that they can all be
sold to the public. It is a good way to make money with art.
Every
branch in art begins the same way but all have a different ending. Art tests
our patience. Sometimes things may go wrong and end up giving up on a piece. In time one learns how to deal with the mistakes and eventually become great artist.
